Coconut

The number of cups in 200 grams of shredded coconut can vary depending on the density of the shredded coconut. On average, 1 cup of shredded coconut weighs around 80 grams. Therefore, 200 grams of shredded coconut would be approximately 2.5 cups. It's important to note that this is an estimate and the exact number of cups may vary slightly.

The coconut tree fleurish mostly in the tropical climate regions of the planet South Asia, Pacific, Africa and Latin America. Fossils found in New Zealand show that there were coconut trees as long back as 15 million years ago

If the coconut is a fine flake, I think you possibly could. But, since the canned coconut is sweeter, and more moist, there may be some difference in the moistness of the cake. As for the sweetness: the traditional icing for an Italian Cream Cake is rather sweet anyway, which could compensate for the sweeter taste of canned coconut, and that may actually taste better than canned coconut. I would certainly give it a try, but probably not at a time when I am making that particular recipe for a special ocassion.

This is an article which appeared in one of our local newspaper dailies on the question why coconut oil gets thick in winter, and wish to share them here,

Oils are liquid fats. Fats are esters of carboxylic acids which are either saturated (do not contain double bond) or unsaturated (contain one or two double bond). These esters are derived from a single alcohol called glycerol and are called glycerides. Usually fats with greater percentage of unsaturation tend to be in liquid state and fats with greater percentage of saturation tend to be in solid state at room temperature.

Vegetable fats are all liquid fats since they belong to esters of long chain fatty acids with one or more double bonds while most of the animal fats are solid in nature since they are all esters of long chain fatty acids which do not contain double bond. Coconut oil unlike other vegetable oils contains nearly 91 per cent of saturated fatty acids Even though it has greater percentage of saturation it remains as liquid fat instead of solid fat.

Its liquid nature is due to the presence of more number of short chain (C12 and C14) saturated fatty acids (only fats with long chain saturated fatty acids remain as solid fats). Because of the greater percentage of saturation coconut oil can easily be solidified at low temperature and becomes solid during winter when the temperature falls below 20 degree centigrade.

Oils which contain unsaturated fatty acids can also be solidified if their double bonds are broken by hydrogenation at very high temperature. Vegetable ghee and vanaspathi are made in this way. This process is called hardening. In the case of coconut oil this hardening occurs not because of hydrogenation but because of low temperature.

some of the drinks cause you to feel weird

Lets see... 5 Milometers is a gram i think... maybe about 5...

you're so dumb for even asking this question. my great great grandfather passed away from a seizure and i take this offensively. how does one even begin to think coconut oil will help prevent a seizure??

but if you were in the middle of having a seizure while you asked this selfish question, yes you should rub coconut oil on your belly.

They both have leaves, roots, and a trunk. There the similarity ends, because the coconut tree is a palm.

To determine the viscosity of coconut oil measure how sticky or thick it is.

its usually called coconut fibre or coir......

Yes, Desiccated Coconut can be make from bagged coconut.
Here's how.

Desiccated coconut

Ingredients and supplies.



* Bag of shredded coconut or 1 fresh coconut
* Baking sheet
* Fine grater
* Spoon
* Bowl
* Oven

Step 2:

Prepare the coconut. If you have a bag of shredded coconut, then skip to step two. If not, you need to prepare the coconut before you can dry it. To do so, take a fresh coconut. Cut in half. Remove the husk and pour out the coconut milk from the center. Use the fine grater to grate or shred the coconut so you have small pieces.

Step 3:

Arrange the shredded coconut onto a baking sheet. You must spread a thin layer of loosely stacked coconut on the baking sheet. Do not clump or press together as that will keep the coconut from drying.

Step 4:

Heat the oven to 250 degrees then place the coconut pan inside. Bake on this low heat for five to ten minutes. The timing of this depends greatly on how moist the coconut was to begin with and how humid your climate is so you need to pay attention and check the coconut often. You aren't cooking the coconut, just drying it out a bit. Once dry it should be brittle to the touch instead of creamy. Remove from the oven.

Step 5:

Transfer the coconut to a bowl. If your recipe calls for the desiccated coconut to be shredded then you have what you need. Some recipes call for the coconut to be dusted on like a powder. For those recipes you will need to go one additional step forward.

Transfer the coconut to a bowl. If you require a fine coconut powder for some particular recipes, then crush the coconut shreds using a spoon against the side of the bowl. Or you can grind the dried coconut in a food processor to obtain a coarse or fine powder.

Desiccated coconut is the best way to get all the nutritional benefits of coconut all year round. So make various delightful recipes using desiccated coconut and enjoy the goodness of coconut!

Sometimes you might find a coconut on one of the beaches in your town and you bury in and it will be a sapling and then like a normal tree it will take a few days to grow and then....

Ta da you will have a coconut palm tree!

Yes - huge quantities - ground into a coarse powder or just the particles from between the fibres it is coir potting compost

It depends but ye sin some rainforests there are coconut trees.

No because it is to cold to grow it needs warmth

It appears from my limited research that it depends how it is stored, not too hot and not too cold it will be okay for years if it is in the original sealed container. Some companies will only guarantee it for two to five years on the shelf but others the web say that if it is shook well to remix the additives in the bottle then they haven't any problems. Don't store it any other container and don't leave open to air as it oxydizes. Opened bottles will deteriorate much quicker. Motor oil does have a shelf life. Depending on whether it is synthetic or conventional, it can be stored from any time of two - five years.

I had an unopened plastic container of gear oil (SAE 80 ie thick) and over a number of years the container started to collapse, suggesting that the oil was reacting with the plastic or, more likely, that some more volatile or smaller molecular particles had passed through the container walls reducing the pressure inside. Thus I would suggest that the oil properties changed over time, probably for the worse. The shelf life of oil will, in addition to temperature, temperature change, humidity depend on the container that it is in and its make up (what kind of oil it is )

Coconut milk is low in purine and should not be problematic in the production of uric acid. Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body during the breakdown of purine, a substance found in the body's cells and in virtually all foods.

A lot don't love coconut but some crave it. I myself used to hate it but now it is my favorite thing to snack on. I just don't like the milk inside the coconut but I like everything else!
